Hello, cabin aux switch ?
Hello all, this is my first post, I just bought a 2006 Super Duty XLT Power Stroke to pull my 5th wheel. Hopefully my question is easy so here goes.
I have 4 auxiallary switches next to my brake controller which all seem to have power. How do I connect something to these switches?
Thank you for you help in advance, I did not get an owners manual with the truck.

These are called "upfitter switches". Like firefighter33 said there are 4 wires above the e-brake pedal. The easiest way to access them is to remove the 4 screws (10 mm socket) that secure the under dash fuse block, then pull the fuse block away & down out of the way. The wires should be bundled together in front of you. The ends of the wires will have a black plastic coating on them from the factory unless they have been used by the previous owner. The colors are as follows: Switch #1-orange/light green stripe (30 amp); Switch #2-orange (30 amp); Switch #3-orange/yellow stripe (10 amp); Switch #4-orange/light blue stripe (10 amp). Just connect your accessory power wire to which ever switch you want to use. There also are 4 solid colored wires in the same area. These are the "pass through" wires that go through the fire wall to make it easier to wire exterior accessories. These wires are colored white; dark blue; black; & red. You can get more information by going to this site: www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas & click on the body builders layout book.

Any time. I have found that this is a great site to find information about almost anything you want to know about your Ford truck. If you can't find something already posted, just ask & someone usually will have an answer. I bought my first super duty diesel last August & I love it! Just take care of it & it will take care of you. Good luck & enjoy!
